Webb Memorial Trust at 2017 Party Conferences

Rethinking Poverty – Party Conferences 2017

Solutions to poverty are hard to come by. ¬†The traditional remedies of the postwar settlement ‚Äď work and welfare ‚Äď are no longer sufficient. Social security payments leave many people struggling to make ends meet, while economic development produces low paid jobs.¬†So how do we make progress?

How do we end poverty when the traditional means of doing so no longer work?¬†

The Webb Memorial Trust makes the case that rather than addressing what we don‚Äôt want ‚Äď poverty ‚Äď we need to develop what we do want ‚Äď a society without poverty. ¬†¬†

Join us at the 2017 party conferences to discuss¬†Rethinking Poverty¬†and the #goodsociety
